Alcoholic Drink Circulating Managing Regulation has been carried out. For this reason, reporters have come to interview Liu Fei, the director of alcohol management office, Hunan Province.

Liu Fei said that it was very important to strengthen the alcohol management, for it could be good to Chinese economical developing and people’s health.

According to the scale of the regulation, Mr. Liu explained all kinds of alcoholic drinks, such as fermented wines, distilled wine and other drinks which contain alcohol. Also, the regulation is suited with millet wine sold in all restaurants because it contains alcohol more than 10%.

The regulation restricts the sale of alcohol to minors, only adults can buy and sell alcohol. Public consumption places, such as bars, restaurants are forbidden to sell any alcoholic drinks to minors. Any one who does this will be punished by economical methods.

Liu Fei confirmed, “Foreign wines without Chinese characters will be treated as false wines.” It is forbidden to distribute, retail and ship such wines. Without quality grades, producing places and the date or winemaking practices, such foreign wines have the possibility to misled the Chinese consumers, so it is illegal to sell them.

Once the goods were over the quality assurance period, they must be taken off the shelves. Although spirits will be better and better as time goes by, beers and wines all have quality assurance period. Keeping wine too long is not so well as people concerned. If sellers sell wines over the quality assurance period, the wines will be confiscated by alcohol management department and the sellers will be fired a sum of money.
